I'd had a drink, not enough so that I didn't know what I was doing, or was incapable of doing what I was doing, but enough not to give a fuck about what I was doing!! I had drank enough to be belligerent about it, enough to not care about being caught and what she would say or do; and certainly enough to stand my ground and speak my mind. My hand moved rhy...
I walked the city streets, the cold, the wind cutting through my threadbare suit jacket as if it did not exist. As I walked, my head down, I reflected back on the day, all of the applications I had filled out soon followed by the rejections which seemed to haunt my life. Still almost eight blocks away from the solitary confinement of the room I had rented al...
Divorce means more than breaking apart a household. Property settlements don't address friendships. Frank and Peggy were Lorraine's neighbors and friends long before I married her and I expected their neighborhood ties would stay long after I had moved away. I was wrong. A few months after I moved away I got a Christmas card from Peggy, asking that I sta...
Heather listened to her best friend; Melanie babbling on and on about her upcoming trip to Venice Beach.

To the reader: This series of stories is an experiment, an attempt to put in writing a game that I play with my lover. I tell her stories in bed, whisper to her, about the things that we could do, if we were the type of people to actually do them. Things like threesomes and bondage and public sex. Dangerous things, erotic things, impossible things. I set the...

Her roommate had gone to a FUEL conference and so she had the place to herself and had invited a few of her fraternity brother's over to play a friendly game of poker. As she set out the chips and cards and put on some music she wondered if Jeremy was going to co...
It had all begun with a trip to her parents’ anniversary celebration, which she normally avoided. Her cousin had left without her date that night. He'd been so self-assured, and she'd been drawn to his confidence, which she lacked herself. They seemed to compliment each other perfectly, each filling in for the other's deficiencies. Around him, she didn't hav...
Ashley spent her morning shower thinking of reasons why her affair was a good thing. Diana loved her, she knew that, but she still thought there could be more between them. "Sure we have great sex," She thought, "but sometimes sex is all we ever do." "Ash," Diana called, "Are you finished?" "Yea," Ashley called back. She shut off the water and went to ge...
I sat down on the couch contemplating what took place this evening. My boyfriend Tony and I have dated for three months now. He's a great guy, intelligent, good looking, witty and very capable in the bedroom. Tonight I asked him what he wants for Christmas, but he didn't answer. Instead, he looked off in the distance like his thoughts were a million miles aw...
I send you a text message that you get as you reach the over pass that takes you to Albert street. It says: "I'm in room 538 - great view of park - looking forward to even better view of u!" Shortly you pull into the Hotel Saskatchewan parking lot and enter the lobby. Not realizing that I was waiting for you, out-of-site in the bar, you get on the elevator...
